I am running an Astatic AST 6BTV HF Portable Antenna 4 band (10, 15, 20 & 40 or 80 meter). I picked it up at our local Hamfest. It is not very flat on each band so basically you have to pick a frequency, tune the antenna to that frequency and you are stuck with it. Not very good for contesting but I don't do that anyway. I also use the TS-2000.

I intend to come up with some other antenna solution in the future and I look forward to the ideas that show up on this thread.
